Update from Google on Net Neutrality

Last week, our Chief Legal Officer, David Drummond, asked you to tweet
at your senators and urge them to pass real, meaningful surveillance
reform. You spoke out strongly along with thousands of people around the
country. This week, we're taking the next step.

The CEOs of major Internet companies, including Google, sent this letter
to the U.S. Senate calling for real surveillance reform.

Surveillance reform is only real and meaningful if it includes limiting
the bulk collection of Internet data (e.g., who you email and who emails
you). As it stands, the USA FREEDOM Act doesn't prevent bulk data
collection — but the Senate has a chance to change that and close the
loophole.
